Hong Kong Express — Restaurant in Artesia

I came to buy takeout for the first time here, as soon as I walked in I saw they had a combo with 2 sides and a drink which was a great deal for $12 and some change.

Immediately asked for that and chose my sides. Rice portion wasn’t bad but as soon as I saw the lady portion out the chow mein to a certain size I knew I was in for a bad experience.

I had the spicy pork ribs and when I let the employee know, she went in with the spoon and looked through the FULL tray of pork ribs to find the smallest ones to serve me. I only got 3 tiny ribs in my plate…

So I said to myself, maybe it’s just that particular dish since I know ribs can be expensive, so we continued on with my next selection which was kungpao chicken. The lady proceeded to sift through the tray (it was FULL of veggies and chicken) to give me the biggest 2-3 pieces of veggies and ONLY 2 PIECES OF CHICKEN.

I was so done after that point that instead of ordering another plate like I was planning on, I ended up leaving immediately after purchasing this plate out of disappointment.

When the employee was ringing me up, I saw they had a sign that said all debit/credit transactions would be $1 up charge no matter the price… So with taxes and the up charge I ended up paying almost $15.

I got home to eat, when I sat and took the first bite I put down my fork to look closely at my plate and realized that not only did they serve me what seems to be scraps, the whole plate was bland and unsavory.

That being said, it’s to no surprise that I won’t be returning...

This place does not know how to make party trays!! Go somewhere else! I will no longer support this shady cheap establishment.

I ordered a larger Beef Chowmein and paid 51.99

I ended up with Large Chowmein with no BEEF! WHERE IS THE BEEF!

I also ordered Mangolian Beef! MORE VEGETABLES THAN BEEF!

I called and they said I only paid for no Beef! i have receipt and they still refuse to give me the correct one. They even claim the Beef would cost 80$ Robbers! CROOKS! AVOID THIS PLACE !!!!!

Reporting them to Better Business Bureau® Los Angeles, CA for DISHONESTY

NEVER GOING TO THIS SHADY...

Updating my review from 4 stars to 1 for the following reasons:

I used to love this restaurant; However, during my last two visits I have noticed things are not the same. The owner was placing old fried rice from a to go container on the warming trays and using Spanish profanity when speaking to his cooks. Not very appropriate when you have a dinning area full of customers with children.

During our last visit the food was served luke warm and I got food poisoning.

I am sad to write this updated review as this was the place we would order Chinese...
